The Scots had a rebellion against themselves? Revolt against the English, they are British.

United Kingdom = United States.Britain = Contiguous United States (as the UK is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland).England, Scotland etc. = Texas, Ohio etc.

That seems to point up a significant difference between Europeans and Americans. A European says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with me?" An American says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with him? - Sir Terry Pratchett

No, No, that's the point. It was a double-whammy insult; calling him a hooligan, and using the American term for (soccer) football.

Oh, you Canadians all think you're so clever, don't you?
